Wine Making in the South.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Notwithstanding the success which
has, in general. attended viniculture in
the Southwest. the area planted i'm grapes
is ridiculously small. There was a time
when it was thought that Mississippi and
Louisiana would rank among the great
vine-produCing districts of the United
States. The failure of our grape grow
erS to extend their vineyards could only
be attributed to want of knowledge in
selecting proper varieties for wine max
ing, combining themselves in nearly every
instance to the Labrusca class. which
never was considered the proper species
from which to manufacture first quality
wine. Upon the advent of the Concord.

termed, wine. In general. il was very

The Scuppernong has been for long

Spring Food.
Herald of Health.


In the springtime of the year there is
great occasion for care in the matter of
food. The kind that has satisfied and
supported the body during the winter
has served its purpose. and is no longer
tit for use. In cold weather the human
system can assimilate material that
would clog and derange it in spring.
There is no need for drugs to make peO-
pie feel well. when the things which
have remained dormant in the ground
begin to give signs of life. \ judiciOus
change of diet is required; that is all. 1t
is better to take the materials for health
from the grocer than from the druggist.
Begin the morning meal with an ex-
ira allowance of fruit. Take two sound
oranges or apples if you have been eat
ing one, or three if you have been eating
two. Be sure that there is no decay
in the fruit employed in this manner.
Eat good bread and butter. If you are a
coffee and tea tirinker moderate the
usual allowance. If you are hot water
drinber take as much as YOU like. If you
are flesh eater take half as much as
you do in winter. Pork is unfit for hui
man food at any season. Eat less but
ter and grease of all kinds in spring. If
potatoes are sound and mealy they are
not objectionable; cheesy potatoes are
unfit. There is the utmost need for the
exercise of caution in the Use of vegeta-
bles of every kind. Unless they have
been well preserved and have whole
some flavor. the part of wisdom is to
avoid them Raw cabbage that has been
spoiled by freezing ii often served in
oyster houses of certain class. The
odor is disagreeable and readily marks it.
In spring it is important that the heaviest
meal should be eaten in the middle of
the day. The warm rains produce an
atmospheric condition which causes
drowsiness. Eating a hearty meal in the
midst of this pressure adds to- the weight
upon the system. In daylight the de
mands of duty will enable you to- cope
with it. In the evening there is no
stimulus, and the result is injury to
health. The evening meal should be
light and easily digested. Don't eat
buckwheat cakes or dOughnuts. III YOU
are a meat eater be sure that the meat
has been broiled or roasted. Don't eat
fried food of any kind. 1t is not desir-
able tn feel that you have eaten enough.
Moderation is the best doctor

How to Become Educated.

A mans education must be mainly his own work. He may be helped or he may be embarrassed greatly by his environment; but neither books, nor teachers, nor apparatus, nor other surrounding conditions of any kind will be of any av ail, unless he himself fur nished the energizing spirit which shall put them to account. A mind is not nodded as an earthen vessel is fashioned by the hand of the potter. IL mouldS itself by virtue of an inhcreat force which makes for symmetry or deformity ac. cording to to the direction given it by consciousness and will Iii. brarleS. universities, museums and foreign travel are powerful auxil. iarieS to a man who is determined to be educated, but he will find them of no avail ithe makes them anything more than secondary in strumentalities in the work.

The Fastest Steamer in the
 World.

Spain, which is not usually reck- oned among tine first of European nations in naval matters, at pres. ent possesses the fastest steamer in the world.
 The name of this smart vessel Is Fl DestructOr, and she Is a torpe- do cruiSer which eau steam with her full armament on board at the rate of twenty-three knots, that Is, almost twenty seven miles an hour. Among her other accomplish ments she is able to turn quite round in a space of four or five times her own length while going at full speed.
 The chances of our fastest steamers, such as the Umbria or the Etruriar, escaping her If once they were sighted. would be smal l indeed for their best ocean speed is nineteen knots, and the Span iard can run TOO miles at full speed without requiring fresh coal sup bly. This formidable racer was not built in Spain, but on the Clyde. She is only the first of n fleet of similar cruisers ordered for Spain. Court Journal

Trust.

It was strange city, and we ar rived at night. The numbering omnibus bore us along unknown streets, turning at unexpected corners, and hurrying in perpleX- ing and contradictory directions. Yet we were not disturbed, for we trusted to the knowledge and integrity of the man who held the reins: and in due time we were conveyed to the right place, and found shelter and rest. Life-ti is a journey through an unknown land. The pathway often lies through darkness. We are in dan ger of losing our way. We do not know the streets. Without guid- ance and help we will never reach our rest or our home. If we walk alone we will grope helpless ly. But to every soul that will trust him God offers guidance and safety. He has taught us to look up to him and say, ''Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trust eth in thee" God is ready to con vey us through the darkness and bring us home. He holds the reins and the chariot wheels can not go wrong. The road may be perpleX- ing. We will not always under stand the delays and disappoint- ments. When the tram stops or goes back ward on the track you do not grow impatient with the en- oineer. or doubt his wisdom. There is some good reason for ev cry delay and every movement. Standing still or going backward are parts of the journey, without which there would be no safe ar rival at the journeys end. Shall we distrust God because our af- fairs fail to go forward! Shall we despond because We suddenly lose much that we toiled for! What If we find darkness Instead of light, and blight inSt2ad of joy? IT we ire in Christ there eau be n" failure. All things work together for good to them that love God.-Cumb. Presbyterian.

Rules for Courtship.

Agree with the girls father in politics and her mother in religion.
 Ii you haze rival keep an eye on him; If he is a widOwer keep two eyes on him.
 Don't put too much sweet stuff on paper. fyou do you will hear it read in after years when your wife has some special purpose in infiicting upon yoa the severest punishment known to married man.
 If. on the occasion of your first cali, the gir, upon Whom you have placed your young affections looks like an iceberg and acis like cold wave. take your leave early and stay away. Woman, in her hours of freeze, is uncertain, coy and hard to please.
 Don't lie about your financial condition. It is very annoying to a bride who pictured for herself a life of luxury in her ancestral halls to learn too late that you expect her to ask baldheaded parent who has been uniformly kind to her to take you in out of the cold.
 If you sit down on some 'molases candy that little Willie has left on the chair, while wearing your new summer trousers for the first tune, smile sweetly and remark that you don't mind sitting on mOlasses can dy at all, and that "boys will be boys" Reserve your true feel ings for future reference.
 Don't be too soft. Don't say, "these little hands shall never Go stroke of work when they are mine," and ''vou shall have nothing to do in our home but to sit all day long and chirp to the canaries," as if any sensible woman would be happy fooljng away time in that sort of style. A girl has fine re- tentive memory of the sott things and silly promises of courtship, and occasionally in after years, when she is washing the dinner dishes or patching the west end of your trousers, she will remind you of them in a cold, sarcastic tone of voice.

AGRICULTURAL.
Good Breeds of Cattle.

There are sundry breeds of fine cattle which have adapted them selves to our Southern climate. but the most prominent are the Jersey, the Devon and the Bra ma.
 Much has been said and written about the Jersey. and 1t is pretty well understood that they are un- surpassed as a dairy and butter COW. They produce mllk of a better quality than any known breed. They make more butter and of a better quality. They cost less to keep, and the cows are kind and docile. They, however, are considered too small to be profitable to the butcher, although the flesh is of the best quality.
 The Devon, however. seems to possess many good points that must not be overlooked.
 First the color, always deep red, without spot or blemish; next tbeir activity and fine shape, making them valuable as oxen; thirdly their weight, being second only to the famed Kentucky short horns; fourthly the quality of the beef, being uneScelled for delicacy and beautiful marbled appearance. the cows are kind, giving a moder- ate and sometimes--when a milky strain has been bred-a large quantity ofmilk of fair richness. We do not think that the Devon IS appreciated to the extent they should be, and solely for the req son that they are as yet compari- lively unknown in the South. Taking all their fine qualities into consideration, including their adaptabllity to the far Southern climate, we think that we can safe ly recommend the Devon as the Southern farmers breed par eX- cellence.
 The Brama was introduced in various portions of Louisiana and Mississippi for the purpose of in- creasing the slze and weight of the native stock, thus making them more profitable for beef. Being natives of a hot climate, it was thought that they would be more healthy and hardier in the Gulf States than the larger En- glish and Kentucky breeds. And the result, when tried, seems more than to have justified the expecta- tion. The COWS are not noted as milkers, though there have been exceptions. But the males make valuable oxen of good size and quality, noted for their extreme hardness and vigor.-Times Dem Ocrat,

Do the Best You Can.

It is very important with farm work to do whatever is to be done thoroughly, and at as near the proper time as possible. Thor ough work in cleaning up and pre- pairing the soil for seed; careful selection of the seed and proper planting; good, continued cultiva- tion with all cultivated crops; har- vesting when at the best stage these are all necessary in order to realize profit.
 If for any reason we are not able to do this in the most thor ough manner, we should take pains to do just the best we can. Shipshod work cannot be made to pay. That in many respects we may not be able to do all that is necessary to secure the best re- suits, is hardly a valid excuse for going to the other extreme and al- lowing the farm to run itself. The only hope even for the small far mer who is just making a start is to do the best he can at all times. and not farm on the principle that 'it 1t Is a good season shall make d fair crop anyway, and if it Is not l won't. Considerable de. bends upon the season, but not all. A very fair crop may be se- cured by thorough work that in the end will prove as profitable as If crops were more abundant. It is not. often that eve have. entire failures when proper pains are la ken to do all the work in thor ough manner and at the proper time, while in an unfavorable sea son when proper care is not given nothing will be made.
 We saw this very plainly last year with the corn crop. Those who were able to prepare their grounds as il should be done and plant Tn season, commencing to cultivate early and keep,it up, SC. curing a fair crop of corn. know of several fields that if good cul- tlvatlon had been given, would have made fair crops, but -as the weather became dry and hot, the coneluSlons was too rapidly reach. cd that the corn crop would be a failure, and no further work was done. Sure enough. these crops were failure. Had these farmers done the best they could a much better crop conld very easily have been secured. and would have proved nearly as profitable as five had received larger yield Correspondence Country Genileman.
